Product review...the portable orgasm

Get your orgasms to go! Climaxes on the run! Discreet pleasure when you need it! What's not to love about that right? Except that most pocket vibes are lame. There, I said it. I've had a few and they are always weak little bullets of finger numbing wastes of money. But the truth is, I WANT a pocket rocket vibrator that I can throw in my purse so I can be ready when that impromptu moment presents itself, as it sometimes does.

I remained hopeful while product testing this mini vibe from EdenFantasys. Here's a photo of it next to my hand so you can get an idea of scale. (And yes, I have long thin fingers and no, I have never played the piano. Do you know how many times I have been asked that question?)

The technical stuff...the vibe comes with five different attachments made of a hard but somewhat flexible and smooth material. All attachments are a pretty blue transparent color. The vibe itself is very lightweight and is also waterproof, which is a feature I always like but rarely use for some reason. It requires a AA battery (included) and I'd consider it a "quiet" toy. The intensity level is more than adequate for me, meaning that my girly parts thoroughly enjoyed themselves depending on the amount of pressure applied and didn't go numb with too intense of a vibration either. The on/off switch is better than many I've encountered and goes from "on" to "off" to "open" (for battery installation) with a twist of the base.

Let's talk about those attachments shall we? The attachments fit snugly on the head of the vibe and are easy to change out. I tested them all and had my favorites. I loved the two bullet-like ones, as well as the one that looks like a chess piece.

But then there were the others that creeped me out and made me laugh at the same time. Maybe its because sometimes I revert to adolescence, but the mini-hand attachment made me giggle so much that I couldn't even use it past the initial test. All I could think of was that this might be what it felt like to have a slightly overgrown Smurf try to give me an orgasm. It was never going to work. The tongue attachment actually felt good but I couldn't get the Smurf image out of my mind with that one either so I completely lost my masturbatory mojo while trying to use those two.

My plan of action for this toy? I'll pop on one of nubby shaped attachments (probably the bullet one), leave the others in my drawer o' sex toys and slip this vibe into my purse in order to be prepared for anything. Oh, and in case you were wondering, I did climax using this toy so I declare it a winner in the mini-vibe category.

Flex A Pleasure? Shut Your Mouth

I was attracted to this toy because of its design. It looked kind of "space agey", like a toy Jane Jetson might use when George was out of town. A vibrating egg with a twist, so to speak. It comes in pink and purple (I got purple in case you're wondering). When the package came I was pleased because EUREKA, the batteries were included!

A bendable shaft separates the vibrating egg from the controller of the same size. This was the part I was skeptical about. I could just see the flexible bendy part weakening and finally breaking, leaving me with two worthless eggs-on-a-stick. I also wondered if the shaft would be able to hold its position while I was in NoTurningBackOhMyGod mode. Never fear however, the shaft (I just like saying that) is strong, steady, durable and can hold its ground.

The hand grip/controller has a soft coated texture and the egg itself has a smooth, hard plastic feel. The toy is easy to hold, is very light weight, and the controller is a simple twist at the end of the hand grip. The vibration strength is multi-speed and goes from a low intensity to what I would consider a medium. The toy is very quiet as well and gives off a low hum when at full speed. Great for going undercover, if you know what I'm sayin'. Wink wink.

So far, I have only used this for clit stimulation because that's my favorite thing on earth, but it is perfectly safe to insert and jiggle your internal business with as well if you happen to be into internal jiggling.

The Result: Worked for me. Meaning, I climaxed quite nicely with it each time.

Favorite Aspect: The flexible and very strong SHAFT (you're damn right). This feature eliminates the VCT that I sometimes suffer from with my other vibrators. What is VCT you ask? Why, Vibrator Carpel Tunnel of course. Come'on ladies, you know what I'm talking about. You're laying on your back in bed holding your trusty vibe on your lady parts and your hand starts cramping up because its curved forward and down into an awkward position so you have to switch but that's not as good because its not your preferred hand so you can't get the angle just right and then fuck, THAT hand starts cramping up and you get frustrated and throw in the towell and decided to go eat some cake instead. Really? I cannot be the only one who suffers from this syndrome occasionally. All I'm sayin' is that the SHAFT (can ya dig it?) eliminates this problem because you can manuever it into whatever position is most comfy and just go to town, VCT FREE!

Suggested Improvements: Detachable heads in different shapes and sizes for the SHAFT (right on) would be awesome. The egg as it is works sufficiently but I could achieve a much stronger orgasm with some silicone-esque rabbit ears or something a little smaller that can really pinpoint my clit. Also, a bit stronger vibration would be nice.

Overall, a good addition to my collection of adult toys. Happy playing!

playing with toys (and boys)

"Does that pussy feel good?"

His commanding voice penetrated my ear through the phone.

I moaned "yes, god, oh so good baby."

"Are you going to cum for me slut?"

Another aggressive question from him. Another breathless moan from me.

I was using a new toy I'd been asked to review. A Japanese G-Spot Squirmy from EdenFantasys to be specific. A lavender one to be even more so.

Honestly, I'd never been that keen on g-spot stimulation. I mean, it makes me feel like I'm going to pee all over the place and for me, that's just not a pleasant sensation and kind of ruins the sexy. But I'm all for trying new and sexy things for the sake of research. 

Once I got it out of the package I was pleased with the feel of it. Soft, silky almost, firm. A good size too, not huge but not tiny either, just right. Goldilocks would approve. And those nubs...I couldn't wait to try out those nubs.

So first, the technical stuff, all of which you can read about here but this is my brief take...The clit attachment vibrates with your choice of three speeds. The shaft twirls around, also with three different speeds and a reverse direction option to shake things up a bit. The control pad lights up with the lowest speed showing one light and on up to three lights for when you are in the mood to max the mutha out. It's relatively quiet, one of my quieter toys actually so that's nice. Wanna use it in the shower? Go for it, this baby is waterproof. Just make sure you have AAA batteries handy. But really, what kind of a sex toy user are you if you don't keep a supply of batteries at the ready?

Another similar disclaimer about me...I've also never been big on using a toy for insertion. I have always found my favorite toys to be clit stimulation only. I mean, that's all I need to cum quick and hard. Insertion is great and all but not my first go-to if my end goal is a nice climax. Even with other rabbit vibrators that I own, I usually would only use the cute bunny ears to do my business and the shaft was simply a convenient thing to hang on to. I'm weird, I know.

But this, this would give me the best of both worlds right? As well, it would spin around inside me AND vibrate my yummy bits! Bonus! Off came my clothes and into the bed I went. Somehow I ended up on the phone with C-Man and soaking wet in all the right places. I have no idea how that came about but it was quite the yummy afternoon.

I was not disappointed in my new friend. The best way I can describe it was like a lovely massage for my girl parts. Depending on the angle I tilted it, it hit The Spot with as much intensity as I wished. I wasn't sure I'd like the twirling aspect inside me but I did; hence the massaging effect that I found pleasant and subtle. For me, subtle is good when it comes to messing around with my g-spot. See previous mention of peeing all over self. Yeah yeah, I know its supposed to feel like that and that means you've hit the right place but personally, I like subtle. Usually anyway and in this case, definitely.

I found myself holding the toy steady at an angle I liked and allowing it to do all the work. The twirling of the shaft made the clit stimulator hit my sweet pea at regular intervals, teasing me and building the plea
sure slowly. Until, and oh yeah, it happened more than once, I exploded into a writhing ball of happy goo.

Negatives? None to speak of.  This cutie gets the second favorite spot among my collection of sex toys. I still can't beat my trusty nubby bullet for compactness and speedy work. But this one does come quite close.

My phone sex conversation ended with whimpers and breathless moans from me and an "I'm so gonna use that on you next week" from C-Man. And he will.

Happy playing!

First toy review - Neon Luv Touch Mini Mite

I've always been intrigued by other blogger's sex toy reviews and have been mildly interested in doing some of my own but hadn't pursued it. Someone read my mind because the fine folks at TheirToys.com asked if I'd like to review one of their products here on Bella. Of course I said yes. I mean this IS a sex blog and I AM into sex, and they DO sell sex toys...so what's to refuse?

Within a few days I received, free of charge, the Neon Luv Touch Mini Mite to, ahem, play with. Now, I love mini vibrators. Love them. Maybe because they're so cute, compact and portable, and did I mention cute? However, it has been my experience that when it comes to making me cum, mini vibes tend to fall a bit short. I mean, they can get the job done but less, um, powerfully, or something. If you know me at all, you know that my motto is "never say never" and I especially never say never to trying a new vibe. And yeah, they're so damn adorable that I can't resist them anyway. Kind of like musicians. But that's another post.

The product arrived in very discreet packaging which is always important in keeping secret sexy side activities on the down low from nosy mail carriers and neighbors. And look how cute! And pink! I immediately named her Pixie. What? I name all my sex toys. Gah, y'all are so weird.

The Luv Touch is quite inexpensive ($9.99 on TheirToys.com), requires one AA battery and comes in a variety of bright colors and even Glow in the Dark! The vibe feels great to the touch, almost silky-like. Also, notice the four different head attachments. My first mission? To test out each head to see how they felt on my lady bits and find my favorite one. The one that would send me over the edge into, well, you know, mini vibe bliss. And so, I inserted a battery and got busy.

Positives: Silky feel of the vibe in my hand, compact size, great color, perfect for travel or throwing in your purse or pocket on date night (yeah, I go on THOSE kind of dates), had enough power to potentially get me off, the four different heads were great (my favorite was the 2nd one in case you were wondering), easy clean up with soap and water, and it is waterproof, although I didn't test that feature.

Negatives: A bit noisy although I have come to expect that from less expensive toys. The biggest negative was the on/off switch. The top third (or bottom third, depending on how you look at it) of the vibe twists to either an "on", "off" or "open" position. At first it worked fine but as I would turn it off to change out the heads, it started to become more difficult to turn back on. It appeared that the top of the vibe wasn't pressing down on the battery hard enough to make it vibrate. This problem kind of ruined the mood for me.

Conclusion: While I was pleased with the silky feel, size, cuteness and vibration strength, I was unable to orgasm due to the on/off issue. I would definitely try another one of these in hopes that my particular vibe was an anomaly because I really do want to like this toy.

Rating: C

I hope you enjoyed my first (but hopefully not last) toy review!

Goodnight all.
